Foundational Studies and Planning Documents

Downtown Master Plan
The Winston-Salem Downtown Plan was adopted by City Council and the City-County Planning Board in 2013. It will guide future public policy decisions and includes recommendations for several districts, such as the Arts District, Theater District, Twin City Quarter, and the Wake Forest Innovation Quarter, in addition to the topical areas of economic investment, vibrancy, mobility, and public investment.

Legacy 2030: The Comprehensive Plan
Legacy 2030 is the Comprehensive Plan for Winston-Salem, Forsyth County and all its municipalities. Legacy 2030 has twice been recognized nationally by the American Planning Association. The plan was honored with the 2014 Daniel Burnham Award for a Comprehensive Plan, and in 2013 the plan's outreach efforts earned the City-County Planning Department a National Planning Achievement Award.

Winston Salem Urban Circulator Plan
The City of Winston-Salem is considering the possibility of implementing an urban circulator, possibly a streetcar or enhanced bus service, connecting Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods to each other and the region.

Greenway Plan Update
This Greenway Plan Update continues the efforts and expands on the recommendations laid out in the 2002 Plan. The Update provides a prioritized system of proposed greenways for construction over the next 10 to 15 years. Connectivity, constructability, and evidence of public support were used to prioritize proposed greenways for future construction.
